The epidemic rates of diabetes, hypertension, and premature death and disability due to obesity, or “body dysmorphia, bulima, and other body-image disorders”?
People are simple, and easily grasp simple concepts. Pulling out the vernier calipers to figure out your percentage of body fat isn’t going to happen for most people. BMI is an imperfect tool, but it’s simple, and in most cases accurate. How many people with BMI’s over 30 are built like linebackers? How many people built like linebackers aren’t aware that BMI doesn’t characterize them accurately?
Any public health message will be inherently imperfect, and some people will be harmed by screening. How many women suffer through biopsies for benign changes after getting their free mammogram or Pap at the 9health fair? Nothing is perfect, and public health is about doing the most good for most of the population.
Agree. Stand outside of any school or public facility and you can’t help but wish much, much more was being done to “promote healthy eating & active lifestyle choices.”
This particular problem is getting worse, nearly exponentially. People need to be a lot more concerned about doing what they can to lower their BMIs (grow taller? . . . OK, what’s plan B?) and less concerned about their emotional discomfort at being labeled “overweight” or “obese.”
There isn’t a plan B! I just bought my body stretching, BMI reducer, growth stimulator machine today off the shopping network.

Plan B, pshaw!
